Abstract

Ocular toxocariasis or ocular larva migrans is a parasitic infection via the ingestion of dog nematode Toxocara canis and cat nematode T.cati larvae. It usually affects only one eye of the child under the age of sixteen. The most common clinical findings in ocular toxocariasis are peripheral granuloma, posterior pole chorioretinal eosinophilic granulomas, and endophthalmitis or pars planitis. It is diagnosed with clinical findings in developing countries, ELISA antibody test and, if necessary, intraocular fluid analysis can be made. Ocular toxocariasis must be distinguished from retinoblastoma and other congenital and inflammatory eye conditions of childhood. In treatment, besides anthelmintic agents, steroid use and vitreoretinal surgery may be needed.

Özet

Oküler toksokariazis veya oküler larva migrans, köpek nematodu Toxocara canis ve kedi nematodu T. cati larvalarının sindirim yoluyla alınmasıyla oluşan parazitik bir enfeksiyondur. Genellikle on altı yaş altı bireylerin tek gözünü etkiler. En sık klinik şekilleri arka kutup granulomu, periferik granulom ve endoftalmi veya orta üveit benzeri tablodur. Tanı özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde klinik bulgularla konsa da serum ELISA antikor testi ve gerektiğinde göz içi sıvı analizi yapılabilir. Retinoblastom başta olmak üzere çocuklarda diğer konjenital veya inflamatuar durumlarla ayırıcı tanısı yapılmalıdır. Tedavide antihelmintik ajanlar yanında steroid kullanımı ve vitreoretinal cerrahi gerekebilir.
